Abstract

ePortfolio has made a great contribution to the technology proficiency of pre-service teachers at our site; however, the degree to which the process of electronic portfolio development facilitate students' reflective thinking remains to be further explored. This paper seeks to examine the quality of electronic portfolios in the aspects of reflective practice aligned with artifacts collection. Three factors that contribute to the quality of a portfolio emerge from student survey results. The study suggests that the quality of an electronic portfolio reside in both technology skills and profound understanding of standards alignment with artifacts collection and reflective practice stressed in all licensure portfolios. Providing portfolio oriented instructions holds the potential for supporting pre-service teachers' continued good practice in integrating technology into their teaching and assessment.
